Rivea

The most elusive of races, the Rivea are plantlike beings that live in the interconnected sub-terrain of Arthanswold. Highly attuned to the life-force of the world as a whole, the Rivea are the most magical of all the races. They are also masters of language and the arts. Typically fair golden in skin, their hair and bodies are often adorned with small leaves and delicate scaling, and when males reach maturity these scales often turn into a thick bark across the shoulders and upper back as a sign of their strength. The Rivea feed on essences collected from the crystalline formations that grow near their settlements; it is said to be a source of magical saturation. When Rivea venture above ground, the sun can boost their vitality, but nightfall brings weakness. Their iridescent nature can make them ill suited to stealth.
